BUNBURY OUTER RING ROAD —
ALTERNATIVE ROUTES
459. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the Bunbury Outer Ring
Road.
(1) In relation
to the southern section of the BORR, has the government considered alternative
routes other than the current route through Gelorup?
(2) If yes to
(1), how many alternative routes have been identified?
(3) For each
alternative route identified, what was the main reason for not pursuing that
option?
(4) What impact
would the current preferred route for the southern section of the BORR have on
the basalt resource near Allenville Road;
specifically, could quarry operations continue if current plans were realised?
